I think the issue is that we're always running "CF encoding" which is more appropriate for netCDF4 than Zarr, since Zarr supports datetime64 natively. And currently there's no way to control whether the datetime encoder is applied or not, we just look at the dtype: https://github.com/pydata/xarray/blob/0f4e99d036b0d6d76a3271e6191eacbc9922662f/xarray/coding/times.py#L697-L704

I think the right way to fix this is to allow the user to run the encode and write steps separately, with the encoding steps being controllable: https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/4412
